Yann Chave 2024 Blanc Crozes-Hermitage

750ml bottle

13.5% abv

Brilliant pale yellow color with silvery highlights. The nose is open and delicate. Floral notes of small white flowers, acacia honey, fresh grass, and ripe, juicy white peach. The palate is ample, round, and firm. The smooth texture leads to a highly aromatic mid-palate (peach, lime blossom, white pepper), underscored by a fine freshness. The finish reveals a hint of bitterness, giving this wine excellent balance. 

We love the whites of the Burgundy vineyards, and look for this signature in our Crozes-Hermitage whites. The duo of Marsanne (70%) and Roussanne (30%) in our vineyards allows us to play, depending on the balance of the vintage, around the complementarity of these two grape varieties to deliver a wine that is structured between freshness and fruity elegance.

Vinification is natural, with no inputs. The grapes are moderately pressed in whole bunches directly after harvesting. Fermentation in vats does not exceed 18°c, so as not to extract too much fat and to maintain the right balance, balanced by preserved acidity. This wine is wood-free, and is aged for 8 months before bottling, to preserve its freshness.
